Was the old server running Microsoft Exchange or were the Outlook items
being stored in a Personal Folder File (*.pst), if the latter you could use
File > Open > Pst and browse to the pst and then drag/drop the items from
the original folders into the new folder, alternately you could make the old
pst the default pst.
Note you may encounter a problem with the original pst when you attempt to
move/open them because of Permissions, you may have to log on as an
Administrator and change the path of the pst and the Permission to open them
